I wonder how reliable / portable it is to have LC_COLLATE
different from LC_CTYPE, especially when using ranges whose ends
are not in the POSIX locale charset (though I don't think I've
ever used such ranges; but users with languages using other
scripts (Greek, Cyrillic...) might).
In any case, note that having that in *your own* .zshenv doesn't
address the potential problems in the script you write and that
may be used by others.
It should also be noted that LC_ALL takes precedence over
LC_COLLATE.
